Subject: autoheader (mv/exec) problem

When running autoheader, I kept getting error messages like the
following:

    mv: cannot move `autoh16138' to `config.h.in': Permission denied

But after autoheader exited, I could successfully execute:

    mv autoh16138 config.h.in

without any problems.

By reading the (shell script) source to autoheader, I determined that
the problem has to do with trying to move a file when it is still open
-- which is no surprise since Cygwin is sitting on top of Windows...

The attached shell script exhibits the above problem on Cygwin but works
on Linux.  I'm not sure if this one is fixable...
